We are in too deep. I am overthinking the lighting logistics in fantasy France.

Both sasasaap and isat show the House having torches and a lot of them, which brings the implication that torches were the central lighting system.

HOWEVER, in the prologue specifically they also mention the latent House's energy lighting up the House itself. THAT has the implication that the House's energy can also provide light on its own.

What does this look day by day? Is there a constant low glow in the House so people can always navigate it? Are torches there are supplement? Or do they provide the primary lighting and the glowing only exists because the House was frozen? If the glowing is a feature of Houses, are they always slightly lighted up? As a beacon in the night? As a way to see? Even when sleeping? A dull glow that shows that Change itself is always alive? Or does it dull with less activity, where the House itself reacts to the people in it?

If I were to get up in the middle of the night, would I be able to get up and walk from the third to the first floor without problem? Do I need a lantern? Is there a Housemaiden's whose job it is to light up torches to navigate the House during the night and then to snuff them out in the morning?

Did the King freeze the House during the night, and that the reason why the stars are out and the torches are lit? Or are the torches always lit, and they aren't a problem because they're crafted in a particular way to last a long time and to mitigate the fire hazard?

The lighting situation in the House fascinates me. You could lean into the fantasy elements and say there is an entire system of lights created by the craft born from Housemaidens pouring their time and energy into the very stones itself. Or you could lean into a more historical side of things and have plot points dedicated the logistics of how to keep House alight while being livable. Or a mix of both!

Or ignore it all! Probably that last one. I have never read an isat fic and wondered how they were able to navigate the House at night. These are all theoretical questions/musings that probably do not need to be answered ever, and I'm overthinking all of them.

im still thinking about that moment last episode where they're planning how to approach dancer and we got:

Ashton: "yeah we should go in with a ginger approach, make sure she doesn't run"

Imogen with complete sincerity, immediately: "so should i just go and calm her emotions right away?"

Ashton with zero judgement or concern: "that, or i was going to pin her down, but that's cool too."

and then when FCG naturally panics over why are we attacking dancer they both turn in sync to be like! No!!! not attacking. restraining. 👍 :) like what. you're both. mildly messed up on exactly the same wavelength here. i love them both so much. what do you mean overkill. this IS my ginger approach. I'm Doing The Job By Whatever Means Necessary Why Are You Yelling.

Something something two people who have spent their lives learning to suppress their flinch/doubt reflex when in a crisis. Out of a horrible necessity. Those two Problem Solving together with a casual sort of callousness. and looking at each other like 👍? 👍 meanwhile FCG is in the background going "wait we're talking about attacking her???" "no of COURSE not, just restraining!" god i adore them.

you ever find out about an accommodation you had when you were in school that you weren't aware you had, bc i recently found out that i would've been allowed to go take a nap in the middle of the school day?? Like if only i'd have known about it when i could actually use it, i could've bragged so much.

at least 4 people have now asked in the notes of my post for someone to talk theories/ideas about how the ada would react to actually seeing skk's dynamic in canon so now i have to go rewatch and take notes to fulfill these requests. im probably not going to rewatch the WHOLE show for it but i will be watching the first few episodes as well as every episode with chuuya and especially all of the skk interactions.

i understand that like, culturally it's a Thing that people get annoyed when any elderly person they're not even close to tells them extensively about their life & their medical history etc. like i get why it's a general tenor that a lot of people find that irritating. but for one i also think that bc of like the nature of this stupid planet we do owe it to others to pay attention to what's important to them and sit in the moment w them for a bit if we can and so i don't love the sentiment of someone else's need to share being like A Bother above all else. and then also, additionally to the inherent dignity in us all etc i am convinced that anyone who gets bored or zones out while their 80+ year old neighbour narrates his life story is in acute danger of missing out on some of the most buckwild Situations you've ever heard a person recount

catch me sobbing bc I'm about to have a desk of my own for the first time since I was like 17 😭

[robinsnest2111]

seeing video evidence of the crüe being jokingly mean to each other and getting the instant feeling I'd not survive a single minute around them in the 80s because I am a sensitive little thing (and possibly autistic going by my constant struggles of reading social cues or taking things too literally) and would just instantly die as soon as they'd start laying into me with comments of that caliber lol

[altschmerzes]

the thing that i secretly have the biggest ego imaginable about in my fic is characterization. when i'm not convinced i am horribly butchering everyone completely and shamefully beyond recognition, i am completely smugly sure i know exactly what i'm doing and that i've nailed the characterization aspect of a fic, even if everything else sucks. (it's about a 30/70 split i think, of these feelings.) which is to say every time i am complimented directly on my characterization i feel like throwing a big party and celebrating in the street. NOTHING feels better.

秩序宣言/Declaration Of Order (Rikai Kusanagi)

Hell lazy, Psychology (Ohse Minato)

LOVE MYSELF (Terra)

LONE WOLF (Kei Sarukawa)

I tried to include at least one song from each of them, there are a few that didn't make it to the list not because I don't like them but they don't quite hit that specific spot that scratches my brain.

Anyways I think all of these are really good songs and if you haven't heard them I recommend to check them out! As well as the rest of the songs Charisma House has to offer
